Heart Stealer

After Ye Qingyun parted with Qiu Xue and Xiao Tuobang.

He walked out of the restaurant, feeling depressed and lost in thought. Suddenly, a sharp and rapid voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Ye Qingyun, please wait a moment."

Ye Qingyun stopped abruptly upon hearing the sound and turned back subconsciously.

Deng Minghui was seen jogging towards him with a flushed face and panting.

Her hair flew wildly in the air with the rhythm of her running, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Deng Minghui ran to Ye Qingyun and stopped. Before she could even stand still, she couldn't wait to ask,

"Mr. Ye Qingyun, may I ask... may I ask what is your relationship with Qiu Xue?"

Her beautiful big eyes were fixed on Ye Qingyun, full of eagerness and curiosity.

Faced with Deng Minghui's direct question, Ye Qingyun couldn't help but frown slightly.

He quickly adjusted his mood and explained,

"Qiu Xue and I are just ordinary friends." However, his tone did not sound so firm.

Deng Minghui was half-believing and half-doubting what Ye Qingyun said, and she looked at Ye Qingyun with a suspicious look.

It was as if he wanted to see through his appearance to see his true thoughts.

"Are you serious? But I just saw you and her acting very intimately in the restaurant."

Having said that, Deng Minghui bit her lip unconsciously, and a look of loss that was hard to conceal appeared on her face.

Ye Qingyun frowned even tighter, and asked unhappily,

"Ms. Deng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to make such groundless assumptions."

Deng Minghui was a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she still responded stubbornly,

"Mr. Ye, I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that I care about Qiuxue very much. Qiuxue is my cousin's wife. I don't want to see my cousin get hurt."

After hearing Deng Minghui's words, the expression on Ye Qingyun's face froze instantly.

He asked in surprise, "Cousin? Could it be that you are Xiao Tuobang's cousin?"

Ye Qingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had just suspected that Deng Minghui was Xiao Tuobang's new girlfriend and felt sorry for Qiu Xue.

Deng Minghui stared at Ye Qingyun, and there was no trace of emotion in her beautiful eyes.

She nodded slightly, then said softly, "Yes, Xiao Tuobang is indeed my cousin." Although her voice was not loud, it was firm and unquestionable.

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Ye Qingyun muttered to himself as if he suddenly understood something.

His eyes were a little confused, as if he had not yet fully recovered from the shock.

At this moment, Deng Minghui's expression suddenly changed, his eyes became sharp, and he warned in a serious and cold tone,

"Also, I want to solemnly remind you that it's best to stay away from Qiu Xue from now on! Don't provoke her again!"

Ye Qingyun heard this and sneered, and responded without any hesitation,

"Hmph, there's no need for you to say anything! Even if you don't say anything, I know what to do."

His tone was full of disdain and disgust, and it was obvious that he did not take Deng Minghui's warning seriously at all.

In Ye Qingyun's opinion, the relationship between him and Qiu Xue has always been innocent and there is no ambiguous relationship at all.

He didn't understand why Deng Minghui issued such a warning to him for no reason. This feeling of being wronged and misunderstood made him very annoyed.

After saying this angrily, he turned around and left resolutely.

Watching Ye Qingyun's figure gradually walking away, Deng Minghui inexplicably felt a sense of loss in his heart.

She stood there blankly, staring at the receding figure for a long time until it completely disappeared from her sight.

She sighed softly, turned around silently, and walked slowly in the opposite direction of Ye Qingyun with slow and heavy steps.

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched her shadow very long, making her look lonely and desolate.

Deng Minghui had just taken a few steps when Ye Qingyun's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait..." Ye Qingyun shouted.

Deng Minghui stopped and turned around in confusion, only to see Ye Qingyun had arrived in front of him without him noticing.

Her beautiful eyes flashed with confusion and puzzlement, and she asked softly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Ye Qingyun stood there quietly, his eyes fixed on Deng Minghui's face, as if he wanted to penetrate her heart.

His eyes revealed an unreadable expression, which seemed both playful and provocative.

After a long while, he slowly spoke.

"Ms. Deng Minghui, I finally remembered who you are."

Deng Minghui tilted his head slightly and asked doubtfully, "Oh, Mr. Ye Qingyun, have you seen me before?"

Her eyes were wide open, with a hint of innocence on her face, as if she really didn't understand what Ye Qingyun said.

On Ye Qingyun's extremely handsome face, there was a mysterious and unfathomable smile from beginning to end.

He said softly, "You guessed it, we have met before."

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes revealed a mystery that was hard to understand.

"I don't remember having met you before." Deng Minghui felt that Ye Qingyun was a little boring, so she turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyun hurriedly reached out and grabbed Deng Minghui's arm.

"Ms. Deng Minghui, please stay! Have you forgotten? Aren't you the girl who snatched the bouquet from my hand at Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue's wedding?"

Hearing this, Deng Minghui's brain started working rapidly.

She thought of the boy who stood next to her at her cousin's wedding. No wonder she always had a sense of déjà vu every time she saw Ye Qingyun!

Deng Minghui's cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly. She stopped, turned and looked at Ye Qingyun, the blush on her face gradually deepening.

But she still refused to admit defeat and asked, "Even if I snatched your bouquet, so what?"

Ye Qingyun raised his eyebrows, took a step closer to Deng Minghui, and his warm breath sprayed on her ears.

"According to custom, I want you to be responsible for me."

Deng Minghui's face flushed instantly. She took a small step back and stammered,

"Who... who said it was just an accident."

Ye Qingyun chuckled softly, "Whether it was an accident or not, the thread of fate seems to have tied us together."

Deng Minghui's heart began to beat uncontrollably. She tried to calm herself down and said indifferently,

"Mr. Ye, a big CEO like you also believes this? It's too naive."

Ye Qingyun crossed his arms and said confidently, "Others may not believe it, but I do believe you, Miss Deng. And ever since that time, my eyes have always unconsciously followed you."

Deng Minghui widened her eyes, never expecting Ye Qingyun to say such a thing.

She opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond for a moment. She only felt the air around her become ambiguous and hot.

Deng Minghui's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She looked at Ye Qingyun, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Ye Qingyun seemed to see her embarrassment and said with a smile: "It's just a joke, don't be nervous. But since we are so destined to meet, why not make friends?"

Deng Minghui finally came to her senses and realized that she had been fooled around by Ye Qingyun and was being played around in his hands!

She glared fiercely at the man in front of her who made her look so embarrassed.

Deng Minghui felt her face burning hot, and then turned pale as paper in an instant.

In the midst of love and hate, Deng Minghui discovered that Ye Qingyun was not as frivolous as he seemed, but instead had a unique charm.

Ye Qingyun succeeded in teasing Deng Minghui, and he felt a little guilty. To express his apology, he took the initiative to say,

"Let's have a cup of coffee together next time we have the chance." After Ye Qingyun said this, he turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for Deng Minghui's response.

Deng Minghui looked at Ye Qingyun's receding back, and a strange emotion surged in her heart.
